I love this kitchen makeover featured on The Lettered Cottage. The wall bins from HomeGoods are a smart, stylish storage solution — practical and pretty.

The contrast of textured succulents in white milk glass is simple and elegant. It’s an inexpensive idea that looks carefully curated, inspired by Nesting Place.

Before we continue with this week’s Beautiful Life links, I want to invite you to an online women’s conference. I’ll be speaking and many other women will be sharing their stories. It promises to be an encouraging and inspiring event — join for part or all of it, and feel free to come as you are.

Have you been noticing beauty in the ordinary and the extraordinary?

I think of you often and know many are facing financial challenges right now. It’s a great time to seek the small beauties we can still enjoy.

Quote of the week:

“I am blessed and today I will do everything in my power to remember that!”

Need more inspiration?

Hooked on Houses shared a helpful list titled “10 Ways to Be Happy at Home.” Small changes and fresh perspectives can make a big difference.
